Dallas Raceway Closes

MadMax404 · 05-08-2013, 09:33 AM

DRC is just behind the 8-ball by about 2 weeks. The track has been purchased, they are actually going to close the doors this weekend to do the neccesary upgrades to the timing system and other things Ken and Molly have been needing to do but couldn't. The track is OWNED by a racer and will stay a race track and they will have a Pro-am and the bracket finals there.

There was a bidding war going on which is how this all stemmed. A trucking company wanted the facility to use as a truck depot and luckily Mike Adcock stepped in to save the facility.

The timing computer has already been shipped to CompuLink for repairs and a spare is on order.

I thought the same thing BUT it's better than towing 6+ hours for me when that's so close. I'm glad to see them staying open. Hopefully next year the points meet will go back to May
